asked the Minister for Finance if he will give some indication of the date on which he proposes to make his budget statement this year.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Budget Statement Date.
12.
I hope to make my Budget statement in the last sitting week before the Easter recess but I would not like this to be taken as definite for the moment.
Will the first part of the Minister's Budget Statement be out on Friday—the Book of Estimates?
Yes.
It will hardly be an Easter gift.
One can never tell.
There will be the weeping and the wailing.
